Wow, beautiful. It's too bad the little cottages have been left to run to ruin; they would make great vacation houses. I've always wanted to restore a stone house.

Thanks Alex, I always enjoy you photos of the border country. It always amazes me that there are so many old buildings in disrepair, around here if its old it gets torn down. You don't even see many old barn anymore.

It would take a lot of work to make this habitable again.

Yes, a lot of work, but MAN, the views and the History!
I had a friend back in college who was also a weaver. She and her husband restored a stone house here in Kansas that started out looking about like that. They basically had the four walls and that was it. And it had burned, so the inside stone was in even worse shape than these are.
If I ever win the lottery........
